I was kinda doing this with Photoshop and discord, just because I liked the tools in Photoshop for moving things etc. I realised they were all in Google Slides and switched over for the latter half of my pandemic era campaign and honestly it worked like a dream.
I now know that Owlbear Rodeo is basically the same option again but without the rest of the unnecessary PowerPoint fluff.
If course! That's always the number one choice, when possible. Sadly, it's just not an option as frequently as I (and plenty of others) would like.
Those minis and terrain look rad, too! I also like that part of the hobby in and of itself. I could spend hours just painting minis and making terrain while watching or listening to something.
We started using Foundry for the interactive maps, not quite as interactive ad minis but the sound triggers and traps automatically going off was super fun!
We recently played a oneshot on Owlbear Rodeo instead of our usual Foundry or Roll20 and I much preferred the simpler Owlbear experience. With the others it was usually a question of "how do I do this with this VTT" and with Owlbear everyone managed their character on their own and we could just play. And I think it gave the DM more confidence to do theatre of the mind when something wasn't prepared.
